System uptime, continuity, and availability are the most important factors for an organization's IT infrastructure. Interviewers will ask you about backups to ensure that you can manage their Oracle RAC system so that it is always available to the business users who use it to do their jobs. They want to be convinced that you can deliver optimized performance with minimal cost and keep the Oracle RAC system up and running and available.

Even though backing up an Oracle RAC system is rudimentary and a fundamental aspect of your job, don't dismiss this question. This is an important issue to the interviewer, and they need to be ensured that you can do this flawlessly. Since you don't know the importance of every question the interviewer will ask you, address each one as though it is critical and respond in a manner that convinces the interviewer you can perform the task they are asking about.
